    Why Are Warrior Women Never Ugly?

    The question we should really be asking ourselves is: Why aren’t there MORE depictions of lithe, flawless women with perfect skin and chainmail miniskirts? :p

    What is the best magic system?

    My pick would probably be the system in True 20. Fast, effective, and above all pain-free.

    RPG Illegal File Sharing Hurts the Hobby

    I just want to point out that this exact thing has happened to me personally. I used to know someone back in college who had literally hundreds of RPG PDF files on his computer. Oddly, this guy didn’t even play RPG games, he just had some kind of obsession with file sharing, so it’s not like...

    Best Heroes game to start

    This is another M&M recommendation, but an enthusiastic one. I love 1st edition, but I’m not completely sold on 2nd edition. Just be aware that the two are pretty different.

    GURPS-Share your thoughts

    Hey yeah! We pretty much did the same thing: M&M has became our “default” generic system on accident. It just runs generic settings so well on short notice, and it's an amazing system to start with. Back on-topic: I remember playing GURPS in high school… I remember thinking “this should be...

    No more Star Wars RPG - It's Official

    True20 is the best system to run Star Wars under anyway.

    F.a.t.a.l.

    Look at the Anakim trait list starting on 14. Read the description of females on 39. Glance at the “randomly determined breast characteristics” on 53. Try calculating a VDP score on 54. Or perhaps an ADP score on 55. When you are finished, try to come back here and accuse me of not...

    Imagine, no Battlemat...

    OHMYGOD!!! I just finished typing up my own "imagine" parody, but you guys beat me to it! Poor form, I know, but I'll post it anyway just 'cause I wasted four whole minutes on it: Imagine there's no battlemat It's easy if you try Nowhere to blow our money No minis we have to buy Imagine all...

    Ah, yes. Fortunately for all the world, tubgirl has been permanently cleansed from the net… So there’s no need to worry about that sanity-obliterating link anymore. Just skip past it and get to the rest of the review.

    F.a.t.a.l.

    Well then, you might want to glance over this review: http://atrocities.primaryerror.net/fatal.html If NOTHING you see shocks you, then I’m not really sure what to say about that.

    Imagine, no Battlemat...

    In 15 years of gaming, I have never used any tools beyond imagination. Nothing else is really necessary. Minis and battlemats do help some players kill things, but this hardly seems worth the effort, time, and money spent to set them up and fool with them to me So yes, it is very possible to...

    Does anyone play True 20?

    Just that you only need one 20-sided die to play. All mechanics are resolved in a consistent manner. In other words, no d4, d6, d8, d12, etc are needed. Heh. I never thought about it before I got True20, but the term “d20” is technically inaccurate? ;)

    Does anyone play True 20?

    Blue Rose is a separate game from stand-alone True20. They are very similar, but there are also substantial differences. They do both fly under the “True20” banner, though.

    Does anyone play True 20?

    My short version: PROS: Rules-light, fast, streamlined, and consistent. No more clunky hit-points, magic slots, or AoOs. Easy to port other D20 mechanics into as needed (or wanted.) CONS: Some players don’t like the skill system setup. No official setting (yet.) Core rules still in need...

    Most useless book ever?

    Because I do not wish to hijack this thread, I have started a new post about it. For more information, here is the main site: http://www.fatalgames.com/ And here is a review: http://atrocities.primaryerror.net/fatal.html

    F.a.t.a.l.

    I just found out about this "game" yesterday, and I must say, I was quite shocked (no small feat.) Is there anything redeeming about it? There must be… From what I have seen, the game looks like it should be illegal. I’m terrified that the media will get ahold of a copy and a new era of “D&D...

    Does anyone play True 20?

    We’re using it to run a Star Wars game right now. The problem is, I don’t think I could ever go back to 3.5 D&D afterwards.

    Most useless book ever?

    Since I kept seeing FATAL come up on various RPG boards, I decided to check it out for myself. My faith in humanity will never, never, never be restored. Because it was even possible for one “human” to write this, our entire species does not deserve to live.

    Most useless book ever?

    Any RIFTS book ever. Oh, are we limited to D20-only products here?
